Performance comparison between Linq, NHibernate and Stored Procs
posted by rev4bart(420) 4 years, 1 month ago 0
So....No PLINQ in this article? No indexing/hashing (similar to what SQL does with heaps)? No...in memory query performance test? No...testing direct expression trees? LINQ like any technology is going to be accepted by a lot of people because of the brevity and ease of coding it provides compared to nesting tons of for loops/predicates etc. However, few will understand it and fewer will dig deeper to try to get a better understanding of what is going on under the covers.

10 reasons why I chose MySQL over MSSQL2005 Express
The ranking functions combined that top now can take a dynamic parameter helps a lot. Some of the read/shared locks can also be eliminated from SQL Server by doing interesting things. I think for a small web app and smaller databases, MySQL might be a good choice. If you want to grow this into anything bigger and use any MS add-ons ur going to be sorry for making that decision down the line.
Sharepoint 2007 from an interface developer’s view
posted by rev4bart(420) 4 years ago 0
Could not agree with the article more. SharePoint 2007 is great and you can sell SharePoint to a lot of non-developer type people with all the "out of the box" stuff you can do and how easily you can do it. Like the author mentions it is a major pain to customize and the examples he gives with CSS & Master pages are spot on. I would add to that: web part development, BI integration has still a way to go and some stupid things that don't need to be as hard as they are.
New BlogEngine Theme - Bright Side of Life
Yeah...we get it. BlogEngine is cool. How are the stupid themes making it into the front page and I saw some decent articles over the past wek not make it in.
This is like the Ron Paul/Obama stuff on Digg or Reddit :) (automatic #1)
10 ASP.NET Performance and Scalability Secrets
@senfo, I agree that this is an advanced ASP.NET performance guide. Furthermore, I would argue that this would apply mostly to higher-volume internet sites rather than Intranet sites. This is not ur typical (make sure debug is turned off) fluff article. Having said that, the author in of the article is from pageflakes.com and they optimize the crap out of that framework...so I would say that these are not "theory" optimizations and they probably are battle tested.
The DotNetKicks Effect

Kind of like the "digg" effect since essentially this is a digg "clone", right? :)
The DotNetKicks Effect - Enjoy While it Lasts
This is not the same, because of the "niche" audience this is trying to target. .NET will continue to grow as it becomes the "go to framework" fore more new and upcoming MS projects (i.e. Silverlight). However, u are never going to reach 10 million hits per day on dotnetkicks :) Having said all that, you might get some of the "bias" as the site gains in popularity whether it be from developers from a certain region (India) or from certain popular .net apps (theblogengine...didn't 5 different themes make the top page in consecutive days) ? :)
